Experience the richness of a simple, balanced lifestyle.

Would you like to make some positive lifestyle changes, to improve your mood, your health and your whole life?

For the full programme now available please go to our sister site www.yoga-for-life.com.au or note the brief copy below

Yoga is a 5000+ year old science which can lead you to a balance between your mind, body and spirit. The yogic traditions translate easily into a modern lifestyle, bringing the balance that most people crave.

You are invited to join us for a weekend of experiencing yoga in a practical, modern context. You don't have to be fit or flexible (that comes in time!) The style of asana (postures) is slow-moving, with a focus on breathing. Beginners will feel very welcome and intermediate students will deepen their awareness of their practice.

You will return home inspired, relaxed, and with a fresh outlook. You will have many new tools and ideas to integrate into your daily routine.

 It can be easy to change your standard of living and experience of happiness without spending extra money or having to manifest more of anything. You will learn how to really engage with awareness, in your life, and experience the joy that comes with this. 

The first 'Be Yourself' Yoga Lifestyle and Relaxation Retreat facilitated by Kathleen Buckley   

This weekend you will participate in a selection of yoga sessions (asanas or postures and pranayama or breathing), yoga nidra (deep yogic relaxation), ayurvedic skincare and facial massage, an ayurvedic cooking class, meditation, group discussions, introduction to the yamas/niyamas (a chance to look within), delicious meals, and we will make room for daydreaming and friendships as well. And a bonfire by the water on Saturday night, and fresh, delicious food all weekend.

Meet Your Facilitators

Kathleen Buckley

Hello, my name is Kathleen, and I am a yoga teacher trained through My Heath Yoga on the Gold Coast, QLD. Thank you for your interest in this retreat! We have a great team lined up for the weekend, and you are very welcome to join us.

I bring a love of yoga and a passion for sharing this wonderful way of life. My yoga journey began in my teens with yogic philosophy / ethics. I waited until I was 28 (was I crazy?!) to try a yoga class. I was home from the first moment. I wasn't any good at it (!), but I knew this was where I wanted to be, and what I wanted to embody.

My number one personal reason for practicing and sharing yoga, is that I have found day-to-day fulfilment and a sense of inner stability that I have never forgotten, and without yoga I may never have touched.
